    My Doubts About Bryan Johnson’s “Never Die” Protocol

    · The Checkup with Doctor Mike

    Bryan Johnson began his life as an entrepreneur, buying, selling, and growing companies like Venmo to build a healthy living for himself. Several years ago, he became fascinated with the idea of maximizing human technology to extend the length and quality of one's life as far as possible. Today, he lives as the most tested man in the world at the center of "Project Blueprint", where drawing on his access to wealth and resources, he pushes the boundaries of human existence to see if he can become the oldest person of all time. As someone who has pushed back quite strongly against biohacking and "optimizing" one's health beyond homeostasis, I was fascinated to ask Bryan about his approach to life and fact-check him on a few of his theories.00:00 Intro01:42 Baby Steps From Superintelligence14:33 Tracking Your Life21:28 Overpopulation24:55 Colonoscopy / Testing30:08 Lessons For Normal People36:32 Plasma Transfusions From His Son42:11 HGH Harms44:50 Sleep Tracking / Sleep Score50:30 Harms Of "Don't Die"

    David Rush is an electrical engineer from MIT, but that's not what he's known for.

I invited him on the show to share his story and detail exactly how he's managed to stay healthy despite the constant physical toll record-breaking has on his body.

    The Corruption Behind Med Spas And Vitamin Injections

    · The Checkup with Doctor Mike

    Bea Amma went to a med spa a few years ago to receive a Vitamin B12 injection, and it nearly took her life. Since that fateful day, Bea has been battling a debilitating case of mycobacterium which has been eating her skin. It's forced Bea out of jobs and caused her to build up millions of dollars of medical debt. Today Bea is here to tell her story, but not just to garner sympathy, rather Bea is an advocate for systemic change, saying we must hold the currently unregulated med spa industry accountable for their spread of misinformation and dangerous, unproven health treatments that can ruin the lives of people they claim to treat.

This is a horrible practice with predators on the internet will target children, pretend they are friendly, convince them to share explicit images, and then hold those images ransom in exchange for money. This not only results is significant financial loss for children and families, but can destroy the mental health of a child or even lead to death.
